Tough to give any more information if you've already seen three urologists.
You may want to be evaluated for any anatomical causes of priapism, including both venous and arterial causes. A blood count and coagulation studies can be considered to evaluate for any bleeding disorders or leukemia that can uncommonly lead to this symptom.
Imaging studies such as an ultrasound or even an arteriogram can be considered to look at the vasculature.
These options can be considered with your personal physician.
Followup with your personal physician is essential.
